Well, I don't think that's what makes this shard great!!esteban wrote: Discussions are only healthy when two sides refute each other.
You shouldn't feel "pwned" for refuting potential inaccuracies.
I think part of why this shard is great, is the amount of dedication of the player population trying to reach a common goal of era accuracy.
Based on one of the posts linked by Trellor, it seems non-tamable creatures were indeed gated.archaicsubrosa77 wrote:It shows that gating monsters was accurate into mid Nov 99 at least, funny there is no mention of the entice skill. Tameable were continued to allow to gate otherwise tamers would have to go everywhere by foot when they were tamed. So you could entice herd provoke or otherwise gate a tameable creature but not an untameable one even after the patch.
Tamable snakes are those named "a snake" and are very small/thin. None of the "giant snakes" (giant serpents, silver serpents, etc) are tamables AFAIK.Usenet Poster Palehorse wrote:Gating monsters doesnt only affect the newbies. i am a seasoned warrior and

like several giant snakes.
Long IRC log warning...Silverfoot wrote:I mentioned this in the other thread and I will mention it here. All the posts in Trellor's link are from the exact same time, Nov 11 1999, 1:00 am. One of the posts also mentions the "Rep patch" and the only patch I know of refered to that is the one from June 1998. Seem odd to anyone else?
The dates seem to be 100% correct on every other post..if you go through the timeline of the group, all post descriptions and experiences are right on point.Silverfoot wrote:How do we know the dates are right then? Because it really seems like they are refering to Summer of '98 since they are talking about the the Rep patch that just went in.

That places the posts right after the Rep patch was put in, right before gating was taken out.MSGID:

I used to gate monsters into the cemetery north of Britain. Everyone
loved it, especially the newbies. This was back before the rep patch
and it was often the only way they could get to fight monsters without
worrying about pks. Gating a Hythloth orc spawn in was great fun
(though extremely dangerous, which is why I gave it up...died too
often.)
That's actually another post being quoted.Silverfoot wrote:Here's a list of threads supposedly from "Nov. 11 1999" http://groups.google.com/groups/profile ... bHsRJ4DB3A.Hemperor wrote:The dates seem to be 100% correct on every other post..if you go through the timeline of the group, all post descriptions and experiences are right on point.Silverfoot wrote:How do we know the dates are right then?

In one of those threads there is a post that says this:

So it's more likely that the only posts that have messed up dates are the ones referring to the very item you're trying to change?Silverfoot wrote:That post is in the same thread, I don't think he is quoting a post from a year and a half before he made his.
